Logistics supply chain specialists Culina has unveiled the next phase of its growth strategy, marking a defining milestone in its evolution and creating an even stronger proposition for customers, colleagues and partners.
As part of this transformation, Culina Group and its subsidiaries will unite under a single identity: Culina. The move will bring together established businesses including Culina Logistics, IPS, Stobart, Great Bear, Fowler Welch, Warrens, CML, Stobart Europe, IRF and iForce under one powerful brand.
The Warrington-based company says that this move is more than a rebrand, as it strengthens how Culina serves its customers. A unified identity better reflects the scale, capability and specialist expertise of the UK’s largest privately owned logistics and supply chain partner, while making it easier for customers to access the full breadth of services available across the business.
Culina will operate through five specialist divisions: Chilled & Fresh Logistics, Contract Logistics, Transport Logistics, Integrated Packing Services and International Logistics. Each division will retain the expertise, capability and operational excellence customers rely upon today, while benefiting from greater collaboration across the wider business.
The change reflects Culina’s vision of being the UK’s leading independent specialist supply chain partner. Guided by its mission, ‘Working as one, we help our customers grow by keeping supply chains moving,’ the business combines specialist expertise, entrepreneurial spirit and dependable execution to deliver for customers.
As a privately owned business, Culina remains focused on long-term growth, investing in infrastructure, technology and customer partnerships while maintaining the agility and responsiveness required in a rapidly changing market.
Specialist operations The Pallet Network, Stobart EU Automotive and Eventor will retain their existing identities.
Liam McElroy, CEO of Culina, said:
“This is a landmark moment for Culina and a defining milestone in our journey as a business. Over many years we have built one of the most comprehensive logistics and supply chain networks in Europe, bringing together exceptional businesses, expertise, and capabilities. Today, we unite those strengths under a single identity that better reflects who we are and what we can deliver.
“For our customers, this creates a simpler, stronger, and more connected experience, providing seamless access to our end-to-end capabilities through one trusted partner. For our colleagues, future talent, partners, and wider stakeholders, it brings greater clarity around our purpose, ambition, and the opportunities we can create together.”
